## page was renamed from Computer/Latex/Hyperref_tikzexternalize == Tikz Externalize and conflicts with some other packages == === Tikz Externalize and Hyperref === Tikz Externalize does not work well with Hyperref without some extra measures. In order to get around the problem, include the following lines in your preamble {{{ \tikzifexternalizing{% \newcommand{\hypersetup}[1]{} }{% \usepackage{hyperref} } \hypersetup{% colorlinks, allcolors={blue!40!black}, % allcolors={black}, % Uncomment for the printed version } }}} === Tikz Externalize and Todonotes === The package {{{{todonotes}}}} uses Tikz internally, and therefore some extra work is necessary if Tikz Externalize is used in the document. One possibility is to create an extra command handling this: {{{unique \newcommand\Etodo[2][]{{\tikzexternaldisable\todo[#1]{#2}}} unique}}} This command should be used instead of the original {{{\todo}}} if externalize is active. The command name can of course be changed to anything easy to remember. Note that the matching {{{\tikzexternalenable}}} is not needed, because the internal commmand is enclosed in an extra group. === Tikz Externalize and Lualatex === In order to use tikzexternalize in lualatex another package is also necessary: {{{ \usepackage{shellesc} }}} This package may also be used with latex and pdflatex, but is necessary with lualatex. Other packages also require `{shellesc}` with lualatex, and therefore it may seem that it is not necessary sometimes. It is always necessary.
